Hi,

I want to be able to use usb drives as a normal user so I added the line :

perm    da0     0777
in /etc/devfs.conf

But when I plug in the device, da0 and da0s1 is created with default=20
permission :

[nicblais] /dev> ll da*
crw-r-----  1 root  operator    0, 148 Oct  2 13:53 da0
crw-r-----  1 root  operator    0, 149 Oct  2 13:53 da0s1

Although I can mount it fine as root, I have to chmod 777 to make it work f=
or=20
other users.

[nicblais] /dev# chmod 777 da0*
[nicblais] /dev# ll da*
crwxrwxrwx  1 root  operator    0, 148 Oct  2 13:53 da0*
crwxrwxrwx  1 root  operator    0, 149 Oct  2 13:53 da0s1*

I'm assuming it would work if I left the usb drive plugged in while booting=
=20
but that kinda defeats the purpose of a portable storage media.
Is my entry in /etc/devfs.conf not correct?

Any help appreciated,
Nicolas.
